Did you know Colorado has 4 meaderies and one winery making a mead? We know you're a fan of Redstone Meads. We encourage you to also get to know the other meaderies including good friends like Medovina Meads (www.medovina.com) in Niwot, Colorado and Spruce Mountain Meadery in Larkspur.

The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) Mead Day is a national event to help increase camaraderie among home brewers and mead makers and introduce or reintroduce the mead making hobby. Each year on the first Saturday in August, home brewers around the nation invite friends and family to celebrate by making mead. For the official recipe and more information visit http://www.beertown.org/events/meadday/index.html
